Following the death of 4maskwolf, there was no clear leadership in Necrothreat. The sole surviving founder, ToadyOne, had been slain alongside NAV and 4maskwolf in their valiant attack on the Necrothreaders besieging them. Gwolfski, while ostensibly the admin, was in no state to take control of all operations. Within the walls of the fortress, locked out of their external defenses, were six adult forummites and twenty-five children, all living in fear that the invaders would break in and kill them. The only forummite with a large amount of weapon experience was Pisskop, gamer commander and hammer lord. The global moderator, Th4DwArfY1, was also a swordsdwarf who could be recruited in case of emergencies. But with the loss of their three champions, none of the dwarves were inclined to sally forth and do battle.
This is part of what has been dubbed the “Dark Period” of Necrothreat. While it was indeed dark for the dwarves that lived trapped in their own home, the name truly refers to the lack of any clear documentation on Necrothreat during this time period. While certain parts of the Dark Period have slowly had light shed upon them, there is no surviving record of several months following the death of the fortress champions, leaving historians guessing what exactly went on within the bowels of the fortress.
No surviving record, however, does not mean no record. This is the diary of a child, long since lost to history, that tells of these dark days in Necrothreat. This child is Wolf, the child of the original 4maskwolf, who had died over a year previous to the section of the diaries we shall now read. Perhaps, in reading this, it is possible to gain a more full understanding of Necrothreat.
Speaking of the undead corpses, actually, they attack the necrothreaders, so they never survive very long (since corpses can now burn).
